It’s a fried good, not a baked good. Bread comes out of the freezer ALMOST as good as it went in, but it’s never going to be fresh baked bread again. With fried goods, its even more pronounced. Like when you get french fries, you get a narrow window of like ten minutes before they are stale. And they’re still good, but they’re different. A freshly fried donut and a day old donut, no matter how it was made and preserved, are not the same thing.
